Occupied Britain: Muslim Rape Gang Report Warns against Dangers of Mass Immigration (Part 2)

This is the second part in a series. You can read Part 1 here.

Warning: The following article contains references to the sexual abuse, rape, and torture of children. While every effort has been made to avoid unnecessary and gratuitous details, several instances of the reported violence have been included for the purpose of exposing the threat posed by mass immigration from Muslim majority regions and the failure to correctly identify, acknowledge, and adequately address that threat. Reader discretion is advised.


As Chloe’s story evinces, the vast majority of British institutions — from police and prosecutors to social care and health care workers — routinely, regularly, repeatedly failed to protect British girls from the widespread abuse committed by Muslim rape gangs. One girl reported that she was placed in a foster home with Pakistani Muslims, where she was abused and raped. When she became pregnant by rape at the age of 15, her child was removed from the house by social services, but she was made to remain. That same girl testified that her abusers would wait outside social services meetings to pick her up and would even phone social care workers to check on her whereabouts.

When one social care worker suggested noting the license plates of the abusers waiting outside, she was told by her boss that doing so was “above her pay grade” and that she would likely lose her job if she did so. The girl shared her belief that “the staff were aware of what was happening but felt powerless to stop it rather than being actively complicit.” Unlike in Chloe’s case, this girl reported that police repeatedly warned Muslim men to stay away from her but did little beyond issue warnings. She stated that “the greatest harm came not only from the abusers but from institutional disbelief, neglect, and punishment that actively enabled the ongoing exploitation.”

Another girl shared that she was gang-raped by three Muslim men who also beat her and left her locked alone in a room. Her friend and her friend’s mother were alarmed by her cuts and bruises and called the police. After the girl told the police what happened, they said that there was nothing they could do. She was later taken by one of her rapists to the police station to retract her statement. “The police accepted him as her ‘appropriate adult’ — a role normally reserved for a parent, close family member, social worker, or trained professional. The investigation was subsequently dropped.”

When Muslim rape gang members would pick up girls from social services meetings, social care workers would phone the police, who never intervened, instead referring to the rape victims as “prostitutes.” The girl said that “these gangs have remained untouchable because authorities feared being labelled racist.” She said that she was raped by between 600 and 700 men and that “98% of them were Pakistani Muslim,” while the rest “were Iraqi Muslim or Kurdish.”

One woman, who was gang-raped by Pakistani Muslims herself when she was a teenager, later reported her daughter missing multiple times, sharing her concerns that Muslim boys and men were sexually abusing the child. “Police responses were often delayed, statements were not taken, and investigations were closed without further action. Social services refused to relocate the family, downgraded the risk level, and eventually closed the case despite ongoing exploitation.” The woman’s family was threatened by Muslims for reporting her daughter’s sexual abuse, with Muslims threatening to burn her house down or kill her and her family using machetes. When her daughter reported a “sex room” at school where older boys would systematically sexually abuse and rape girls, the woman called school authorities, who refused to investigate and claimed that the woman’s daughter was lying.

One girl was even charged with nine counts of “perverting the course of justice” and sentenced to eight years in prison for reporting the abuse she suffered from Muslim rape gangs. In one instance, the girl reported that she had been raped by a Muslim man who was later arrested and convicted for breaking into a home and sexually assaulting the woman who lived there. Prosecutors still argued that the girl was lying. After reporting that she had been threatened by her abusers, who said that they would kill her brother and rape her sister, the girl was found lying in a field, covered in cuts and bruises and missing a finger. “Following this, she wrote a post on Facebook alleging that she had been a victim of grooming gangs. The post went viral,” the Inquiry recounted. “Within half an hour, the police arrested her and she was sent to prison.”

A man, called “Marlon” in the report, repeatedly raised concerns to police and social services that his 14-year-old daughter was being groomed and sexually abused. While the police urged social services to intervene, social services instead took months to conduct an investigation, eventually telling Marlon’s daughter, who was frequently reported missing, that she could leave the house any time she wanted to and instructing her to call social services if her father tried to keep her home. “Social services undermining his parental authority resulted in her missing episodes escalating dramatically. Social services effectively gave her permission to go missing, and the case was then closed without meaningful intervention.”

Although Marlon would often be out late at night, driving around until four in the morning looking for his missing daughter, police repeatedly dismissed his concerns, often failing to show up at his house for hours after he registered a missing persons complaint. Even when masked men attacked Marlon in his home, after threatening him not to report his daughter missing, the police response was “delayed and dismissive.” Social services even tried to blame Marlon for his daughter’s abductions, abuse, and rape in court, until a judge intervened and determined that what happened to the girl was beyond Marlon’s control.

One girl, after reporting her abuse — repeated rape and gang rape, often filmed — to the police, was pressured by the police to retract her statement and say that she was lying. “She was warned that if any part of her account could not be supported by evidence, she could and would be arrested,” the Inquiry recounted. “For an extended period of time, both officers repeatedly told her how much trouble she would be in if any detail of her statement was disproved, and that she could withdraw the allegation before the interview started with no further consequences. They also suggested that her parents would be relieved if she said the incident had not happened.” The girl was 12 at the time.

When the girl’s parents found sexually explicit test messages on her phone, including photos, they reported it to the police, who dismissed the sexual conversations with adult men as “consensual.” The girl reported that her abusers would traffic her to police officers, in addition to other Muslim men. When she shared her diary with a social care worker, detailing years of rape, sex trafficking, and torture, she was not believed, and the social care worker diagnosed her with dissociative personality disorder. Her abusers told her that they knew when she was “snitching” to the police because “they had people on the inside.”

One girl was forced into a Sharia marriage at the age of 15. “Her social worker attended the marriage ceremony.” In most cases, institutional forces failed or refused to act for fear of being labeled racist or, particularly in the case of the Labour Party, for fear of offending and alienating the Muslim voting bloc. “I don’t think that they care much about us,” one victim said of authorities. “They didn’t want to open that can of worms, because it’s a religion thing.”

Institutional failures were not limited to allowing the continued rape and abuse of victims but extended to the punishment and retaliation against whistleblowers. One social care worker who raised concerns was told that an investigation would soon be launched but later found that investigators had purchased shredders and destroyed evidence. One whistleblower, Caven Vines, compiled records demonstrating that public authorities, including police, local council members, and even MPs were aware of the Muslim rape gang epidemic as early as 2003. He alleges that several MPs have perjured themselves in Parliament in an effort to cover up the abuse and cover up their own knowledge of it. Vines has since been sued into bankruptcy. Other whistleblowers include men who have helped law enforcement track down and identify Muslim rape gang members like activist Tommy Robinson, who has repeatedly been maligned and targeted by the British state and media as a “far-right extremist.”

‘The Religion of Peace’

According to the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, at least 87% and as many as 95% of the men involved in the rape gangs are Muslim, primarily of Pakistani ethnicity, but also of Indian, Somali, Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi, Turkish, and African heritage. “They operated under an honour and shame clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially white working-class girls, as property available for sexual use because these girls had no male protectors who could retaliate,” the Inquiry stated. White and Christian girls were regularly referred to as “trash,” “white trash,” and other racial epithets. “The same networks targeted Sikh girls until Sikh communities mobilised collective male protection and forced the gangs to withdraw,” the Inquiry noted. “British girls were not permitted such a defence. This religiously framed exploitation was repeated in every major town and city and beyond.”

One victim reported that she was “repeatedly subject to racially and religiously motivated” abuse and violence. She said that “being white was repeatedly used as a justification for the abuse or to minimise or dismiss the harm being inflicted.” The girl was raised in a Christian household and was repeatedly mocked and degraded for her Christian faith. She wore a small cross on her neck and was ridiculed while being raped for her Christian faith, with her rapists telling her that “her Christian faith offered her no protection” and that “her God had abandoned her” or “would reject me because of what had been done to me.” The Inquiry noted, “Comments were constantly made suggesting that white girls and Christian girls were viewed as having degraded moral character or lower value, whereas Muslim girls were described by some of the men as having dignity and higher moral standing.”

Another victim reported that she had been repeatedly taken to mosques, where she heard imams preach about the inferiority of white people and “infidels,” chiefly Christians, and encouraged Muslim men to sexually abuse white and Christian girls, labeling them inferior to Muslim women. One woman who was subjected to repeated rape by Muslim rape gangs said that she “was explicitly told during the rapes that the attacks were happening because she was white and because she was Christian.” She was referred to repeatedly as a “white slag,” a “white whore,” and a “white c***.” She recounted, “I was told that Muslim girls are good and pure, and stay virgins until marriage, but all white girls are slags, and they all sleep with hundreds of people. I was told white girls are trash. They are all whores. They are lower than sh** under your shoe. They don’t obey Allah, so they deserve to be punished. … They should be raped as punishment for not obeying Allah.”

“I was beaten, strangled, suffocated, and my head held under water, tortured, kicked, and raped over 100 times. I was told that if you don’t scream when you’re raped, then you’re consenting to the rape, so you should be stoned to death,” the woman recalled. “All of the sexual abuse that I experienced was linked to spiritual abuse or religious abuse. Religious scriptures were used as tools of control to force me to conform to their will. I was not allowed to question these religious beliefs,” she continued. “They used their religious ‘moral authority’ and self-proclaimed elitism to control me through use of scripture, forced confessions, censorship of decision making, requirement of secrecy and silence, isolation, excessive shaming and punishment around sexuality, and requiring unquestioning obedience.”

One girl who was raped and took her rapists to trial was verbally assaulted by her rapists’ sister, who shouted “Allahu Akbar” at her. Another girl reported, “Before they raped me, they would chant, ‘Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim,’” which translates to, “In the name of Allah, the most gracious and most merciful.” Yet another girl said that she knew several Muslim girls, who were sometimes present when she was being sexually assaulted or raped, but that the Muslim men treated the Muslim girls with a higher degree of respect. “They have no compassion,” one girl said. “‘English pig dogs’ came up a lot,” she said of the names her Muslim rapists would call her and other white or Christian girls. “Muslims don’t like pigs and they don’t like dogs. So they hate dogs, they hate pigs,” and they place white and Christian girls “on the same level as that.”

“Britain is not a unique case. This sort of thing goes on anywhere that either welcomes mass migration from Muslim countries or contains long-established Muslim populations,” the Inquiry noted. “There is a consistent pattern of sexual violence directed against non-Muslim minorities in settings where Muslims form the majority.”

Hail the Victor

The publication of the Rape Gang Inquiry Report comes in the midst of international debate on the issue of mass immigration. Many in politics, public policy, academia, and media have pointed to terrorist acts and mass murders committed in the name of Allah or “jihad,” the Muslim concept of a “holy war” against the Western world, as evidence that mass immigration from Muslim majority countries poses an existential threat to the social, moral, legal, and cultural fabric of Western nations, like the U.K. or the U.S.

Under traditional Islamic jurisprudence, the term “hijrah” refers to conquest via immigration, effectively inundating a non-Muslim country so completely with Muslim immigration that Muslims can subsequently undermine, topple, and eventually replace all major institutions and subjugate the nation to Islam. “Islamic jurisprudence also addresses the treatment of non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad,” the Inquiry observed in its report. Islam differentiates between infidels living in Muslim-dominated territories, who are largely considered “safe” from jihad provided certain obligations are fulfilled, and infidels who live in non-Muslim territories, who are fair game for violence, warfare, subjugation, conquest, and eventual enslavement. The Inquiry affirmed that the crimes perpetrated by the Muslim rape gangs “are not isolated instances of criminality, but stem from imported pre-modern clan systems embedded within certain ethno-cultural communities, reinforced by specifically Islamic collectivism.”

The Inquiry labeled the pervasive, endemic nature of the Muslim rape gangs and the timid deference shown to the Muslim rapists by law enforcement, social services, and health care workers as evidence of the gradual Islamization of Britain. However, the political class capitalized on the Islamization of the country, simultaneously furthering it and attempting to curry favor with the Muslim invaders. “The country’s transformation was greatly accelerated under Tony Blair’s New Labour project, which culminated in the Equality Act 2010,” the Inquiry noted. The legislation strengthened so-called “protections” for particular characteristics, particularly demonizing “Islamophobia.”

Many of the police officers, social care workers, health care workers, and school officials interviewed by the Inquiry admitted that they did not report or take action against the mass rapes due to fears of being labeled racist or Islamophobic, and in some cases fearing race riots. “The result was a chilling effect across public institutions. Police forces, social services, and local councils repeatedly chose silence or denial over robust investigation because the political and professional costs of appearing to single out Muslims was deemed too high.”

“What went wrong is now painfully clear. The post war liberal consensus … emphasised diversity, inclusion, and non-judgementalism as supreme virtues. Multiculturalism replaced national self-confidence as the guiding principle,” the Inquiry concluded. “Long-standing British norms around free speech, child protection, and impartial application of the law were subordinated to the need to avoid offending minority sensitivities at all costs. Liberal elites in media, politics, and the public sector internalised the idea that acknowledging cultural or religious factors in crime was itself a form of bigotry,” it continued. “This mindset actively shielded the rape gangs by discouraging the very inquiries and interventions that could have saved thousands of children.”

Muslim immigration into the U.S. poses a similar threat. Already, areas like Texas and Michigan have seen significant increases in their states’ Muslim populations, including the formation of ethnic Muslim enclaves and the rapid increase of mosques. While some American legislators and law enforcement officials are sounding the alarm over the rise of the practice of sharia law, the U.K.’s tragic Rape Gang Inquiry stands as a stark, brutal warning: if it is happening in the U.K. on such an enormous scale, then there is a good chance that it is happening in the U.S. on a smaller scale.

In fact, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed recently that federal law enforcement agents have already found similar-style rape gangs. “We have one group that we broke up that these young ladies are claiming they were raped 600 to 700 times, and these are teenage girls now,” Mullin shared, making clear that the victims were children when raped. “We have one that we just broke up recently that was a ring of people that had kept these kids down in a tunnel. You couldn’t write a horror story about how bad this was, couldn’t write a horror story. It’s stuff that I’ll never forget.”

As Britain demonstrates again, whatever smaller scale rape gangs may be operating in the U.S., it will not stay small for very long, and talk of sharia law courts will pale in comparison to the mass rape of hundreds of thousands of American girls if Muslim immigration is not addressed seriously.

Mass Immigration from Muslim Countries Has ‘Eroded’ European Culture, Threatens American Safety Next

A top Republican official is warning that mass immigration from Third World — in particular, Muslim — countries risks destroying American society, pointing to Europe as an example. In a Fox News interview last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) emphasized the danger posed to American culture and society by the growth of Islamic Sharia law, brought to the country by immigrants from majority-Muslim countries.

He urged state legislators to pass laws banning the Muslim practice of first-cousin marriage, which he described as “obviously part of cultures that are antithetical to American values.” The governor also touted his own actions to ban the practice of Sharia law. “We don’t want to end up like Europe, where they have no-go zones, where you have these little subcultures where this stuff is imposed,” he said. “That now is totally off the table in Florida.”

“They’ve really shot themselves in the foot,” DeSantis said of Europe, reflecting on the historic ties the U.S. shares with many European nations. “You look at, like, the United Kingdom — that has been our best ally historically. We obviously came from there, our culture grew out of English culture, our Constitution and laws, all this stuff, very tight bond,” he continued. “But I think what they’ve done — and other European countries have done — they’ve imported in mass numbers people who don’t want to be British, don’t want to be French. They want to take where they came from, and they want to change those countries to reflect things like Sharia.”

“So if the reason why we have been allied with them for so long is because we have strong political and cultural bonds, well, those have eroded because of decisions that they have made,” the Florida governor said of immigration policies enacted by European leaders. “I think what they have done, particularly on mass immigration, has been suicidal. We can’t make those mistakes in the United States.”

Over the past 25 years in particular, much of Europe has been transformed by mass immigration from the Middle East and the Third World, bringing with it chain migration, Muslim culture and Sharia law, increased crime and violence, and a swollen burden on European welfare systems. Some European nations — notably, Hungary and Poland — have resisted the immigration influx, but the governments of many European nations have not only permitted but, in many cases, openly encouraged and facilitated mass immigration. This increase in immigration, much of which comes from Middle Eastern and Third World countries, has eroded the fabric of European society and threatened to entirely decimate European culture, erasing all that once bonded the U.S. to the “Old World.”

The shift in population makeup has been drastic, particularly as the birth rates of native Europeans have declined catastrophically and the birth rates of foreigners — particularly Muslims — rise well above replacement level. The statistics cited below are drawn from Eurostat, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and national statistics offices.

Germany

At the dawn of the 21st century, Germany’s foreign-born population stood no higher than eight million, in a nation of nearly 83 million. The vast majority of foreigners were fellow Europeans who had moved to Germany for a variety of reasons: work, study, family, culture. Fewer than three million foreigners hailed from the Middle East or the Third World; of these, the majority (nearly two million) were guest-workers from Turkey or their families, along with some from Morocco and the first few “refugees” from Iraq and Afghanistan.

By the end of 2025, roughly one-fifth of Germany’s population was foreign-born, amounting to nearly 20 million people. Those from the Middle East and the Third World accounted for over half of the foreigners. Most of those came from Turkey (millions), Syria (approximately one million), Afghanistan (over 450,000), Iraq (over 250,000), and hundreds of thousands more from Africa and southern Asia. Like much of the Western world, Germany’s native birth rate has plummeted, falling to a total fertility rate (TFR) of less than 1.5 by the end of 2020. Meanwhile, the TFR of Germany’s foreign-born population sits at well over 3.0, with foreigners accounting for over 20% of births in Germany by the end of 2020.

In 2015, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel instituted an “open door” asylum policy, which saw over one million “refugees” from majority-Muslim countries enter Germany within a single year. At the time, the European Union’s Dublin Regulation mandated that EU member states process asylum applications according to the first country that the asylum claimant enters. For example, a Syrian national could not enter France and claim asylum in Spain; France would process his asylum claim and agree to give him refuge. Merkel abandoned that policy for Syrian and Afghan asylum claimants, allowing other EU member states to shift the asylum claims to Germany and encouraging asylum claimants to cross Germany’s borders.

In 2003, the EU had enacted its Family Reunification Policy, which allowed member states to either welcome the immediate family members (spouses and children under the age of 18) of non-European nationals living in those member states, or else to restrict the immigration of family members on the basis of national security concerns or a lack of housing and welfare. Merkel suspended Germany’s application of this policy.

The results of this mass immigration, framed by Merkel and her political allies as “humanitarian,” has been disastrous for Germany. On New Year’s Eve 2015 and New Year’s Day 2016, within a year of Merkel’s “open door” policy taking effect, over 1,200 German women reported being raped or sexually assaulted. The majority (roughly 650 sexual assaults and 22 rapes) occurred in Cologne, with hundreds of other sexual assaults and rapes taking place in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt. Cologne Police Chief Wolfgang Albers confirmed at the time, “The crimes were committed by a group of people who from appearance were largely from the north African or Arab world.”

Albers resigned days later, citing a loss of public trust. His successor, Jürgen Mathies, argued against speculation that the mass sexual assaults and rapes had been planned or organized in advance, instead suggesting that sexual assault and rape were simply common features of African and Arab culture. Out of an estimated 500 assailants in Cologne, only 153 suspects were identified: 149 were foreign nationals, while the remaining four were teenagers born in Germany to foreign parents; more than two-thirds of the assailants were from Algeria or Morocco; nearly half (44%) were asylum claimants.

Late in December of 2016, Anis Amri, a 24-year-old Tunisian national whose asylum application was rejected by Germany (after he had already been let in), shot and killed Polish truck driver ?ukasz Urban and stole his truck. Amri proceeded to drive the vehicle at high speed through the Breitscheidplatz Christmas Market in Berlin, killing 11 people and injuring 56 others. In the aftermath of the attack, it was discovered that the Muslim Amri had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS). Less than a decade later, Saudi Arabian national Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen rented a BMW SUV and drove, at high speed, through a Christmas Market in Magdeburg, killing a nine-year-old boy and five women and injuring over 300 people.

According to the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), Germany’s federal police force, over 40% of crimes are committed by foreign nationals, while nearly half (49.3%) of violent crimes are committed by foreign nationals. Another BKA report determined that while 163 out of every 100,000 Germans are suspects of violent crimes, that rate goes up by more than 10 times for foreign nationals: 1,740 per 100,000 for Syrian nationals and 1,722 for Afghan nationals, for example.

France

In 2001, the foreign-born population of France was below six million, of which less than half were from the Middle East or the Third World. The majority of non-Western immigrants were from Algeria, a former French colony, with others from Morocco, Tunisia, and sub-Saharan Africa. By the end of 2025, the foreign-born population had ballooned to about 10 million, accounting for roughly 13% of the population. Nearly half (45%) are from Africa, while many come from the Middle East. While the TFR among the native French is 1.6 (the highest in the EU), the TFR among foreigners is approximately 2.5, with nearly one-third of births in France attributed to foreigners.

Like Germany, France has also liberalized immigration policies over the years, bringing in large numbers of foreign workers and expanding asylum and refugee caps. Also like Germany, France has experienced a surge in Islamist violence. In 2012, Algerian Mohammed Merah attacked and killed three French soldiers before targeting a Jewish school in Toulouse and killing three children and a rabbi. In 2014, three police officers were attacked and injured at the Tours police station by a knife-wielding man shouting, “Allahu Akbar.” Just a few weeks later, brothers Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, linked to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, forced their way into the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine and opened fire with automatic weapons, killing 12 people and injuring 11 others.

From 2015 onwards, Islamist terrorist attacks became nearly commonplace in France. Outside the Louvre, an Egyptian national attacked three police officers with a knife, wounding two. Yassin Salhi set off an explosion in a factory outside Lyon after decapitating a factory worker and mounting his head on a fence, accompanied by Islamist supremacist writing. Five people were injured in a shooting and stabbing attack by an Islamist extremist aboard a train bound for Paris. Later in the year, 137 were killed and over 400 more injured in a series of orchestrated shootings and suicide bombings, mostly concentrated in Paris and the surrounding suburbs.

Since then, well over 100 people have been killed in Islamist terrorist attacks in France — from Catholic priests on their way to celebrate Mass to teachers and schoolchildren — and hundreds more have been injured.

Spain

Under the military leader and head of state Francisco Franco, Spain hosted very few Muslims, only two or three thousand per year, who were forced to repatriate at the end of the year. By 2001, the Muslim population in Spain — hailing predominantly from Morocco, Pakistan, and Senegal — was nearing one million. By 2008, it stood at 1.2 million. Today, nearly one fifth of Spain’s population is foreign-born, of which nearly three million are Muslims. A series of amnesties enacted in the 1980s and 1990s, following Franco’s death and the ascent of a secular (and now socialist) government, normalized Muslim immigration and encouraged increased illegal immigration, so that Spain has an abnormally high rate of illegal immigration today.

As with other European nations, Spain has seen an increase in Islamist terrorist attacks and related crime, starting with the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which claimed the lives of nearly 200 people and injured more than 2,000. A subsequent series of terrorist attacks in Barcelona left 15 dead and 120 injured. Of course, Islamist violence isn’t always bombings, stabbings, shootings, and decapitations. More recently, 25-year-old Spaniard Noelia Castillo was euthanized after a suicide attempt linked to a series of gang rapes reportedly perpetrated by Muslim immigrants.

United Kingdom

Muslim gang rape has proven to be a widespread problem in Britain. In 2001, the U.K. counted fewer than two million Middle Eastern and Third World immigrants as residents, predominantly originating from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, but with many Muslim arrivals from the Middle East. That share has more than quadrupled in the succeeding years, so that more than eight million British residents now come from Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and the Middle East.

In the 2000s and early 2010s, EU immigration policies and the liberalized asylum policies of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair saw immigration to the U.K. rise sharply. That rise slowed following Brexit and the U.K.’s departure from the EU, but the post-Brexit “point system” allowed many illegal and temporary immigrants to earn a lengthier stay, and the governing Conservative Party did little to halt illegal immigration or enact deportations.

In 2005, Islamist suicide bombers attacked London Underground trains and double-decker buses, killing 52 and injuring nearly 500. Nigerians Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale ran over British Army Fusilier Lee Rigby with their car before using a knife and a meat cleaver to stab him to death, drag his body into the street, and hack him to pieces. In 2017, Khalid Masood drove a car through a crowd on London’s Westminster Bridge, killing four people and injuring nearly 50, before fleeing his car and fatally stabbing a police officer. Months later, an Islamist suicide bomber targeted Manchester Arena following a concert, killing 22 and injuring over 1,000. Just weeks after that, Pakistan-born Khuram Shazad Butt, African “asylum seeker” Rachid Redouane, and Moroccan Youssef Zaghba drove a car through a crowd on the London Bridge before exiting the vehicle and launching a stabbing spree. Eight people were killed, and 48 were injured, including 21 who were critically injured.

In recent months, much attention has also been given to “grooming gangs.” Since the 1990s, police and government prosecutors have been reportedly made aware of gangs of Muslim immigrants (mostly Pakistani in origin) and the practice of grooming and serially raping young white girls, especially teenagers. According to official reports, the rape gangs would typically approach girls in public places, or sometimes have a young Muslim boy of about the girl’s age approach her or begin a relationship with her, and then entice her using gifts and favors, such as fast food and meals out, cigarettes, alcohol, and perfumes or clothes. The girl would then be raped, often violently, and frequently shared with other members of the family, including brothers, cousins, and uncles. Girls were often threatened afterwards and, in some cases, were coerced into drug dependency so that the rape gangs could maintain control over the girls.

According to the British government, various police departments refused to record the ethnicity of rape gang members. Numerous cases were either not investigated thoroughly or not investigated at all. The few cases that were referred for prosecution were never prosecuted. Current Prime Minister Keir Starmer was, at the time, the director of the Crown Prosecution Service. Louise Baroness Casey of Blackstock, who led the government’s official inquiry and audit into the rape gangs, wrote that authorities “shied away from” investigating or reporting the crimes, with many of those interviewed suggesting that they did not want to be labeled racist.

Member of Parliament (MP) Sarah Champion, who represented Rotherham, where over 1,400 girls were raped by Muslim gangs, suggested that up to one million girls could have been raped nationwide. MP Rupert Lowe, founder and leader of the immigration hardline party Restore Britain, suggested that every single “foreign rapist” ought to be identified, arrested, and deported. Government inquiries into the issue have not yet revealed the full scope of the abuse.

Conclusion

Mass immigration, particularly from majority-Muslim countries, has decimated Europe. DeSantis’s warning against the potential for first cousin-marriage pales in comparison to hundreds and thousands of deaths and injuries from terrorist attacks and hundreds of thousands of girls systematically gang-raped. Policies banning the practice of Sharia law only treat a symptom, not the disease, which can only be addressed through stringent immigration control, as Europe has learned far too late.

The GOP Is Clueless To The Dems’ Sinister Immigration Agenda — And It Has Nothing To Do With Elections

The GOP has been very good at diagnosing the problems we will face from the illegal migrant invasion following the end of Title 42. Americans will pay more taxes while seeing cartel activity, gang violence, and other crime skyrocket. Housing and healthcare will become scarcer and more expensive, and the labor market will worsen as a larger labor supply suppresses American wages.

Republicans have mostly attacked the Democrats’ plan to create a “permanent majority” or accused them of enabling crime. Ultimately, this short-sighted approach focuses on the short-term electoral game. As usual, the Democrats and their handlers hide their true intentions, and the GOP is none the wiser.

The final Democrat goal is to turn America into a communist state in which Washington and its mega-corporate partners control every aspect of life. But Americans increasingly realize they are better off controlling their own affairs. So what is Uncle Sam to do?

Enter a pair of 60s radicals from Columbia University. Professors Richard Cloward and Frances Piven taught at the Ivy League university during Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty and Great Society. In 1966, they argued that Johnson’s welfare program was not going far enough because most welfare was the purview of state and local authorities. In order to get everyone on the federal teat, a crisis had to be created to give the feds the excuse to step in. Their proposal was to have massive numbers of poor people overwhelm local and state governments that they would beg Uncle Sam for help.

This general idea is the long-term strategy behind mass immigration.

If the Democrats cannot get Americans to accept a neo-communist, technocratic, oligarchic state run by billionaires and their political marionettes, they will import those who will. And the masses of impoverished foreigners, who are already accustomed to socialism and heavy-handed government, are the perfect trojan horse.

AOC may be dumb, but the people behind her aren’t. They want to overwhelm their own cities – and then everywhere else. They know that if NYC and Chicago can’t handle migrants, then the rural counties these cities are shipping migrants to definitely won’t – let alone the 750 million people who want to come here. The only entity left to pick up the tab is the federal government (in practice, this means you), which will use demographic chaos, poverty, and declining standards of living as a pretext to “save” the day. Coincidentally, Eric Adams has called for just that.

So what do you do when people can’t afford to live as a result of both low wages and high taxes to pay for all these illegals (among other things)? Enact universal basic income, preferably with a trackable CBDC that will control what you can buy, and when and whether you can buy it at all. Can’t afford healthcare because the system is strained and clogged up? Roll out Medicare for all, which of course gets to prioritize certain patients over others according to federal whims. No doubt diversity and inclusion will be criteria. Local and state police can’t handle the out of control crime anymore as a result of illegal immigration and soft-on-crime DAs? Create a national police force.

COVID-19 was a good try from the feds. They got tons of people to wear masks, take experimental shots, and hate their neighbors, but it didn’t result in the economic collapse and massive run to the welfare rolls that they had hoped for. So now, they’ve hit upon an all-too-commonly seen plan in history: when your own people hate you, bring in dependent outsiders.

Oh, and one more thing. When the millions of military-aged male migrants don’t get what they want from the Dems (who basically promised them the world), the Dems will blame you (Americans) and turn their newly imported constituency against you to save themselves.

And you won’t be able to defend yourself. All that violence that is happening thanks to cartels, sex/drug trafficking, and gang violence – all the product of letting in massive numbers of military-aged males? That’s your fault too, which means: get ready to surrender your guns. Uncle Sam doesn’t like competition.
